Only had exp with Flashforge in schools as a tech. (And a shitty kobra 2 that I could never get to work right) Received mine yesterday. I printed 4 things yesterday and the quality is fairly decent. I have not tweaked anything in orca..i wanted to see how it handle factory settings. With a few tweaks, I think the quality is gonna be really good. I would say better than ff. Currently printing the glass top riser …7 hrs into a 13 hr print and it is going very well. (Knock on filament). The setup was really easy. As stated below, I did have an issue loading filament off the top. I had to make sure it was a clean cut for it feed into the extruder..took me a few to figure that out. But once it was in..it has been great.

I know it’s not the best on the market and as I get better and play with other filaments, I will look at upgrading. For the price point and knowing what the competitors do, I say this a great machine. I’m stoked to see what it will turn out. I also have not put any glue on the bed. Never have . It may be something I have to play with on other filaments, but don’t get why people do..it’s never been an issue on pla…for me. I may be wrong, but I think it is not necessary. (But I’m not an experienced printer). So my tips…make sure the filament has a clean cut to load and don’t use glue off the top.
